Clippers vs Pelicans Game Thread 2014-03-01

"I definitely have gotten healthy," Granger, who is averaging 22.0 points over his last 11 matchups with New Orleans while shooting 47.8 percent from 3-point range, told the Clippers' website. "Now it was just a matter of getting my game back and getting my feel and I was on track. I'm still feeling good. So, I still feel like I have a lot to offer and I like the way I'm going."
Granger joins Davis, who had two points and two rebounds over 5:14 in Wednesday's 101-93 victory over the Rockets. Griffin finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds and has....

Can't wait to see Granger and Davis out there together tomorrow. It should be a great game.

This is a Exciting time to be a Clippers fan, Damn I'm so Pumped, I can't wait till this game start's. I Guess I'll just have to settle for seeing the "New" "Look" squad by playing some NBA 2k14. I hope to see Granger play tonight and see Davis get some more Burn out on the floor.

I loved Collison in the game against Houston as our main scorer in the end. It will be interesting to see if he get another chance in the end together with Paul on the court.

This game could be also interesting for are new Players Granger and Davis because we should win this game and maybe they get enough time to make a first step in this team.

Another question is Bullock. Will he play more? Or Green?

^^^^ I wouldn't be surprised if Bullock started at SG. Jamal and Reddick are both out most likely but it would be awesome if both played tonight. Wishful thinking

The Pelicans played the Suns last night so they should be a little tired.

The minutes of Bullock will go down with Granger playing,he will play garbage minutes.

When Jamal is back yes, but what about filling the 2 spot while he is out?

Pelicans will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back so I expect them to be more than tired especially after trying to keep up with the fast-paced Suns last night. Clippers can and should win this one.

I'm looking forward to seeing Glen Davis and Danny Granger play in this game.

This has all the makings of a trap game for us. And remember, new players can cause new confusion on the court. I just hope a.Davis doesn't have a CAREER NIGHT along WITH another pelican,....

The good news is that Granger's first game isn't against Miami or other stiff competition, so he should get a chance to play significant minutes. But with only one practice under his belt. Doc only has like 24 games or so to get ready for the playoffs and to get Granger into the flow with his team mates. If Doc sees Granger as the guy in the playoffs, and not Bullock, it is easy to predict who will be getting minutes. I wonder when the first time we will see somebody try to throw a "Lob City" pass to Big Baby. It's a bird, it's a plane, no...it's Super Baby...able to leap tall buildings with a single bound.

IF the team gives a lob pass TO him in tonight's game, when he comes down, all the concession stands will have to restock their chip racks, lol!

I Have been counting down the minutes and hours for this game lol

I am really excited to see Granger and big baby play today(I had school Wednesday so didn't watch big baby)

I don't think Granger will return to all star level, but definitely way better player than Dudley and Barnes.

Lets get this W tonight!!

I hope nobody freaks out this time and tempers their expectation. Doc knows what he's doing and will give players minutes the way he sees fit. At the same time, here's hoping it's an early blowout so we can see Davis and Granger with more minutes than expected today.

If I were a gambling man I would guess Willie. Been there done that and held the fort last season so why not now for a couple of games. then we see Darren Roll into backup pg and sg. Then new guys take the field

Does anyone know for sure if Crawford is out for tonight? I read that he's supposed to be out 2-3 games, but I was hoping that he would feel better by today.
